My gym has a sauna in both women's and men's locker rooms. At this gym, nude in the wet areas is OK, it just depends on how comfortable you are being nude. I always go nude and just sit on a towel. There is everything in there from fully nude to fully clothed - never have understood that, but to each his own.

I have been stared at and occasionally hit on by gay men, but I politely express that men aren't my thing, and I've never had anyone persist or badger me.

Poly Girl-

You must have read my mind. I am straight, but not homophobic. Normally though, when I am in the steam room I am not thinking about sex, but what went right and/or wrong with the swim set that I just finished. So, I really didn't notice the nice man sitting next to me just yesterday in the steam room.

I did notice when he followed me out like a little boy and sat right accross from my locker. He apologized for staring, but then justified it by saying that "you are so hot". I was a little taken aback.

It is a good thing that the nice man said this to me, because I know some other neanderthals in the room that would have decked him, reported it to management, etc. Frankly, I think that my growth in the last few years in recreational sex has allowed me to be more tolerant of such behavior (within limits).

I don't use the Sauna at my gym, but I use the steam room every day after a workout. I am always nude; wearing a towel just soaks the towel. To my knowledge, there is no prohibition on nudity in the steam room, and no one has asked me to cover up.
